I needed a place to stay overnight between flights. I called the hotel for the
shuttle, which came within a few minutes. Check-in was prompt, the room was
clean, and beds were good (not plush, but good). Staff gave good advice about
late-night restaurants in the area. The serve-yourself breakfast was nice -not
lavish but quite adequate -waffles, cereal toast, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt,
juice, coffee - and it was available starting at 5 am so those of us catching
early flights could eat. I would stay here again when passing through Seattle.

Rooms small but clean and surprisingly quiet, being so close to the airport.
Long-tem parking arrangements were a bit complicated, so we ended up losing
money there. Would I stay there again? Yes.

Arguably the closest lodging to SeaTac, I was pleasantly surprised by this
compact property. I am a veteran user of Hotwire, and pretty good at identifying
properties where I have stayed. This was a new one for me, as I tend to stay
away from airports and at two star bargain places . This trip was different, as
I needed to be near the airport. So although I got this reservation at a booking
bargain, the online price is actually fair for the hotel and location.
The hotel was clean, as were the rooms. The wireless worked well, the rooms were
comfortable (good bed) and very functional. Breakfast is continental but
adequate. The exercise room was crowded with equipment but pleasant and usable.
There are a number of restaurants walkable, including one right across the
parking lot. There is a shuttle to take you to and from the terminal, but if you
are not loaded down with stuff, it is a reasonable walk.
Coast Gateway is part of chain, and their loyalty program is worth looking into,
further lowering your costs. I don't think business is all that wonderful
anywhere near Seattle right now (December 2012), so rates may tend to be higher
at other times of the year or when (if) the regional economy brightens.

I have used the Coast Gateway Hotel near the Sea-Tac Airport for many years as a
arrival and departure hotel and for a couple of meetings. Generally it is a
decent place to stay. Rooms are clean but small, very convenient location. I
have only had one bad night here and that was because of an extremely loud
individual next door and his buddy who had a women there for awhile and played
loud music and were very loud themselves. They slammed doors non-stop. I
complained to the front desk twice and though they called the room asking them
to keep it down the noise was louder, including the door being intentionally
slammed very hard after the 2nd call from the front desk. The noise was from 230
to 530am when the individual finally went to sleep. The hotel did not offer me
any compensation or change of rooms for a loss of a nights sleep. I stay here 16
nights a year and would have expected better treatment. The front desk is pretty
lethargic and not very helpful at times. They take a hold on your credit card
for incidentals even though there is no bar, restaurant or services in the hotel
which I find irritating. Parking is sometimes very difficult because the hotel
shares a parking lot with a busy BBQ place next door and I believe some people
park there who have taken flights. Beds are comfortable and when quiet I have
always rested well here. Several good places to eat within walking distance. And
you can't get any closer to the airport than here.

Not a bad place. Little musty smelling and parking can be a pain when the
restaurant, in same parking lot, is busy. My room was clean although there were
plenty of missed areas that need attention. Most looked like they've been missed
a lot. Bathroom could've been cleaner. Bed is comfy, only big issue I have with
room is the doors and walls. The doors slam and the walls are paper thin.
The free breakfast isn't that great. I'd get better coffee and let's see more
fruit, (no banana's??) The pickings were slim. Yogurt was full fat when we were
there and not the reduced or fat free as was the milk. I'd improve that if I was
running the place.
The desk clerk spends a lot of time with gabbing in the middle of the night to
their "friend". Not even a "good evening" or "have a nice night" when we walked
in. Same with gal in the morning. No acknowledgement. That is one area I would
work on immediately.
Other than that, not a bad place to stay if you get for cheap on priceline. I
wouldn't pay over $100 a night though. (we got for $40 on priceline)

The room was ok, fine to stay here if you are making a quick trip in and out,
wouldn't want to stay more than 1 night though. price is really good, the lobby
smells smokey. Location is close enough to walk to the airport, but they do have
a shuttle.

Close enough to SEATAC Airport to walk, though shuttle service is convenient and
accommodating. Rooms are all you need, clean and well-appointed, but what makes
this hotel stand out is the helpful and friendly staff. I was impressed by how
they are willing to go the extra mile with a smile. I will definitely make this
my overnighter-at-SEATAC hotel.

Booked this hotel through Hotwire and couldn't have been happier. As this hotel
backs up to Concourse A of the airport, I thought it would be great to have a
room facing the airport. Upon check in I requested an airport side room and was
gioven one on the top floor overlooking the activities of SeaTac. The hotel was
clean, the check in and check out process was smooth and pleasant and the modest
breakfast was just enough to start the day. Overall, it was a great stay in an
excellent location. |
